Category reports can be used to reference income and expenses by category for any date range. They can also be used to help prepare for taxes by reporting on the categories designated as tax related. Learn more about how to setup Category reports below.

Note: Totals for "parent" categories, categories with subcategories, will include the values for their subcategories. However, the amounts will not be double counted in the overall totals for the report.

Edit the general settings for the report as desired and then select to "Continue" or to be "Finished" setting up the report depending if you have chosen to select specific accounts, categories, or tags for the report.

General settings:

• Name: The name to display for the report. Shown for the report's heading and in the list of reports.

• Start: The starting date for the report's date range.
• End: The ending date for the report's date range.
• Date Intervals: The intervals to report within the date range. For example, a "Monthly" date interval for a report starting on the first of the year and ending on the last of the year will display information for every month.
• Format: How the report will be structured. Format options include: "Categories" (totals by category), "Categories with Transactions" (totals by category while listing the transactions for each category), and "Transactions Only" (a list of all transactions that met the report's parameters).
• Subgrouping: The option to further breakdown category totals by another item. Subgrouping options include: "None", "Account", "Payee", "Transaction Type", and "Tag". For example, select the "Payee" subgrouping option to get totals for each category along with subtotals for each payee/category combination.
